    Competition is an awkward thing in this game because the #1 goal for a large guild is a castle, and right now I feel like if I had thirty good men I could defeat basically anything another large guild could throw at us. If the sieges were more balanced you might see guilds vying for power and...

    Oh yeah, Kyrios has definitely lost a lot of the big guilds. But this happens in every game to some degree, whether it's ESO or even WoW. 2-3 months there is usually a huge shift in guilds where the leadership in some guild either quits or doesn't recruit to fill the release attrition and they...

    Thanks. Is there a consolidated list of chemicals, food, whatever that people say will make my kid retarded and what the research really shows? ex: phthalates

    Nice deal on that gpu. Anyone know the best way to remove the thermal pad / adhesive from these: Swiftech MC14 Memory Cooling - Newegg.com I can remove them from the card just fine, but then there's a bunch of bullshit attached to it. Also anyone know where to get replacement...

    Wife is due in a couple weeks. Anyone have any good book suggestions on parenting? Especially focused on the first year or two? It's a boy if the books are commonly gender typed.

    Kyrios is super active still. Halcy has 100+ westerners on at us primetime. Freedich gets regular shipments from both sides. Peace time halcy and hellswamp have trains of carts. Hasla has a bunch of very frustrated people in it. Fishing spawns have tons of people. There are still a lot of...

    Yeah. Only reason they are interesting for us is because it is fundementally different from the small group and naval PvP we are in every night.

    i7 4790k, gigabyte gtx 970, asus a97 ar Not sure if I like the gigabyte version of the gtx970 now that I have it. The heat sink system seems a little hodgepodge, but whatever it seems fine. Keeps the GPU at 60C under 100% load and the fans only hit like 70% speed. What do people use for...

    For those who didn't play ArcheAge, Halcyona is a zone that has a huge factional war every ~5 hours. The winning faction gets a few tokens for a good necklace and a 1hr buff. For those not actively playing on Kyrios, the East basically dominated Halcy for the first month and a half of...

    It's just an argument for depth and variety in a game which a lot of MMOs (but not archeage haha) lack. I hate being spoonfed content, and I like the portion of Dark Souls that puts a nearly unbeatable monster in front of the player early on and lets the player get wasted if they mess with the...

    Went to microcenter and bought the proc/mobo/gpu. Now I just need to get a few remaining things. I'm leaning away from: Amazon.com: Corsair Obsidian Series Black 550D Mid Tower Computer Case (CC-9011015-WW): Computers Accessories And more toward: Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black...

    I actually like the idea of boss mobs with better gear than what can be gotten ingame currently and aren't supposed to be killable. Some people are whining about the red dragon being put in before the cap is raised and are right to say that it's likely a symptom of awkward game management, but I...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    haha @ 1 dollar per shot. Looks like the effective range is 1 mile. I wonder what the beam divergence is and how much power loss it exhibits at 1 mile. Or if it's able to shoot down incoming missiles.

    Yes. And it's possible that bringing back asteroids chock full of heavy earth metals like plat, iridium, gold, rhodium, osmium and ruthenium would also have incredible benefits to our technology by lowering the price of them such that we could use them more frequently. I'm not a metallurgist...

    Nice. Note that it's an 'innovator edition' so don't expect a full consumer experience. I imagine they'll have the same problem as the DK2 does now: A bit of a lack of good VR content that goes beyond short demos and some software issues. Good thing about GearVR is that it's more of a closed...

    Basically, do watercooling if you want to have fun and view it as a hobby. Don't do it if you think it's the holy grail of effective DIY computing.

    I've done watercooling for my last 2 or 3 builds and this one I'm skipping it this time. It's fun and PC Building enthusiasts should give it a try at least once but I dunno, you have so many more parts in your PC and you're supposed to change out the water every 6 months (I never do) or you'll...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Justice system sounds cool. Gives a taste of where they should've directed the game from the start: player freedom. TESO is one of the least free MMOs ever made and it's built on the back of one of the most free RPGs ever made.

    Glad to see another long term space objective take form, hopefully NASA can drum up enough national interest in it to make it politically inadvisable to cut funding to it. Part of me agrees with Szlia though, I wish NASA was able to come up with an objective that is inherently useful. Maybe...

    Only way to save this arc is if the monk starts singing paint it black. I feel like they ran out of reasonable abilities like my sword turns into sharp rose petals and I make everything burn and now they are just making up dumb shit like I redacted your name.

    Those are all reasonable sounding words to retroactively explain away the existence of a ship without shields that had to fight a ship with shields just to allow the protagonists who had the shields to destroy tie fighters left and right. It's not like the original team sat around and said...

    So the compensation for last weekend's catastrophe is 5 days, 7500 labor and 30 loyalty coins for patrons. Not bad. Meanwhile the sieges can't be rescheduled and our peace fund of 23k we would've gotten is just sitting there out of reach. No idea if that'll double by the next siege defense or...

    Yep. Tie Fighters are completely out of place and make no sense. People trying to compare them to zerglings when everything else about the Empire screams protoss makes no sense. Tie fighters are just a plot device to allow the heroes to easily cut through the enemy. There's nothing wrong with...

    He didn't really outsmart him anyway, just shot him when it made no sense in a fit of rage. And Saul hiring people who kick his ass is no surprise. Shit, he started working with Walt/Jesse immediately after being captured. He can't help but find himself working with people who kick his ass.
